Unregistered properties: short-term rental registration number cannot be obtained without prior registration

The Directorate General for Legal Certainty and Public Faith confirms that the assignment of a short-term rental registration number (NRUA) requires the property to be previously registered in the Land Registry. The Registrar of Arrecife suspended the application due to a breach of the principle of successive chain of title, as the property was not registered and the requirements for initial registration were not met (Art. 10 RD 1312/2024). The resolution establishes that the assignment of the NRUA is carried out via a marginal note in the property folio, which necessitates the existence of a registered property.

In 2 key points

  1. 7-day deadline to rectify defects in the application for a registration number (Art. 10 RD 1312/2024). (art. 10 del Real Decreto 1312/2024)
  2. The assignment of the NRUA requires the entry of a marginal note in the property's real folio. (texto fuente)

How it affects those involved

For owners of unregistered properties operating in the tourism sector, obtaining a short-term rental registration number is blocked until the property's registration is completed (Art. 10 RD 1312/2024). This imposes a prior administrative and registration burden to comply with short-term rental regulations. The deadline to rectify defects in the application is only 7 days from notification (Art. 10 RD 1312/2024).
